BEST ANSWER:Yes, I never noticed b4 you asked, but there are two slots one on each side of the cooler when opened.. Theses slots are in between where the ropes for the handles are attached. If you look at the pix on Monoprice site, the second pix you can just barely see them when magnified. And it looks like it would accept a flat nylon strap and still close.. By the way it has a can opener and a place to lock it when closed!

There are the lock holes on each side of the top and the handles could be used to tie the cooler down but no dedicated tie down slots and if the top bolt holes are used it could not be opened. Those holes are more for bear proofing. The photos are very accurate.

BEST ANSWER:This cooler never has sweated for me but local humidity is pretty low. The insulation is good and the surface of the cooler always seems pretty close to ambient so I don't expect you will get condensation, even when it is very humid.

No, this cooler does not sweat. The only way liquid will get out (unless turned over without having the top latched) is from the drain on the side. Which in my experience does not leak if screwed snug.

Does the 25 seriously weigh 23.6 lbs empty?? I'm trying to decide between the (apparently) comparable Yeti Roadie & RTIC 20, which show as 15 & 17.5 lbs respectively. As a smallish woman using it alone, every pound will matter!

BEST ANSWER:The hinges are molded into the lid and body of the cooler. There is a metal rod (unseen) that goes through both halves. Not likely at all to break or wear out. The only weak point might be the metal caps that hold the hinge pin place might come out allowing the rod to fall out but I think it would easy to fix

BEST ANSWER:Hi William, it's the same technology, the cooler is build as a tank. Very solid and I do not feel you are overpaying for them. You also can't beat monoprice's life time warranty on them, even Yeti doesn't offer it!Try it you have 30 days money back guarantee!Hope this helps.

I've been shopping for the ultimate cooler and bought this at a steal. Here's my requirements that were carefully reviewed and analyzed:*Prefer USA manufactured or even better USA materials plus manufactured here. This is made in China :(*Thickest insulation possible, above 1.5" prefer 3" just cause I'm greedy*Either a wicked color scheme or extremely light colored exterior. Personal flare vs better uv/heat dissipation.*Larger than 20 liter/quart but none above 30. Just personal use for Corona bottles which would require enough interior height storage.*LIFETIME WARRANTY a must, I plan on this being my last REAL cooler. Not interested in lesser offered warranties just out of rigidity concerns if a item costs more it should be better and better, just sayin.*Bottle opener a must because I drink sealed bottle beer. If I'm opening the cooler I'm gonna open a brew-sky.....ALL with one hand!*PRICE, PRICE, PRICE. Even if I had to buy 3 or 4 more of the product (hopefully not knock on wood), does it really need to be soooo expensive. It's not even powered cooling for Christs' sake lol. I could buy a refrigerator with freezer for the price a Yeti?!*Bear Proof is a waste of time in my areas of activity, there are very very few that exist here and quite frankly if a bear wants in a plastic cooler just take a look at the discovery channel and you tell me. Ridiculously unnecessary and merely a sales gimmick of durability plastic vs bear....duh!*Tie downs are definitely tactical. Most come with this unless they are cheap or really small in general.*Prefer a drain plug I can screw directly into my garden hose for easy cleaning. Although, this cooler may be suspect to leakage and or breaking at the plug cap but I can easily fix that without voiding warranty. Buy a brass or copper garden hose thread cap with a nice rubber gasket, voila!*Carry handles/bar must be extremely durable because of full capacity weight tolerance factor.No bear worries if you eat it first ;)Peace

Performance wise I'd say it should be similar. The finish on the plastic is the perfection you see with the name brands but that's just aesthetic. The lid hinge doesn't seem quite a sturdy as Yeti, but isn't by any means weak. For the price it's a good buy. I'd say the big name brands probably are slightly better than these coolers, but IMHO not worth more than 2X the price of these.

I got the cooler. I love it. I have one problem with it. I'm trying to install a valve on the drain, but nothing matches the threading. It's not standard hose threading. It's not pvc threading. Nothing from the hardware store matches. It's driving me crazy. Does anyone know where I can find something that fits it?

Are these bear-proof?We are headed to a bear area where near-proof coolers are recommended. They have a list of coolers but this is NOT on the list. Unless it is made by another company that may be on the list.

Real world demensions please. It helps to identify the legbth dimension with a L or the word length next to it. It helps to identify the width dimension with a W or the word width next to it. It help to identify the height dimension with a H or the word height next to it. Your perspective consumers will appreciate this ?

You can have ice in this thing for 4 days or more. Look at their photo.. the black thermal stripping in the lid.. on my unit is it overlapped oddly on the bottom. Not sure it is as effective as could be. But its a deal at monoprice's regular price and I got mine on sale. Its perfect for my occasional 16 hour drives.

It does a great job doing what it's supposed to do.... keeping things cold for a long time. There is one minor design flaw which becomes annoying after a while. On the higher end coolers, the rubber latches, when lifted up will stay in place, out of the way allowing you to just kick the lid down. With this cooler, the latches are just loosely hinged and remain hanging down making them an obstacle to closing the cooler completely without using two hands to do it. Not a deal breaker, but worth noting.

EXCELLENT cooler!! Looks great, sturdy construction, yet priced less than half of their competitors. I actually used the cooler two weekends without having to add ice after SEVEN DAYS! I can’t give this cooler enough praise. I would DEFINITELY recommend buying this cooler.

This is a pretty heavy cooler. I had it partially filled with ice and it kept ice for three days while inside for a party. I can imagine a fully iced cooler could keep ice even longer. Pretty impressed with ability to keep ice that long.

It’s winter so it’s hard to say how it will perform in July but my initial impression is that the cooler is well made and comparable to my Pelican cooler. I like that the sides don’t taper much and it doesn’t have large handles that would make it take up much more space than necessary. I also like the built-in bottle opener – always there so I won’t have to hunt around.

Overall great cooler just not as big as I expected can fit about a 7-10 pound bag of ice and 24 canned beers stuffed or 18 glass I fit 18 modelos bottles in it with 7 pound bag of ice but no chance 24 would fit I would suggest getting the 45 if u expect to take it tailgating and have to share ur beer with more then one person
